    It’s cute Pentagon is literally making up new group called ‘Khurasan’ when it’s just AQ AfPak/Iran guys in JN. Don’t get my gov sometimes.

        @azelin I don't think the Khorasan Shura is fictional.

        @DaveedGR I didn’t say it was fictional. I said I don’t think it’s a separate group from JN. They are just JN’s EO.

        @DaveedGR I’m sure we’ll find out more, but I’ll note that jihadis just call them members/leaders of JN and never use Jama’at Khurasan so.

        @azelin The flip side is DOD's claim that there's a lot of secrecy surrounding this group, which would explain that jihadist terminology.

        @azelin true, Khorasan is part of JN but apparently functioning with own mission that's got our attention. I would not play it down

        @azelin @Levitt_Matt well, Firas al -Suri could be also labelled as "khorasan" member and he seems to be no. 2 in JN.
